Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos rebellied against his father Uranus not because he wanted the power, but to prove to his mother that he DESERVED the power. One day Gaea gave Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos a sickle and told him to come and do away with his father. She invited him down to mate and then Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos let him have it. The reason Gaea was so mad in the first place is because Uranus locked away her children, the monsters in Tartarus. Before Uranus was banished, he told Khronos/Chronos/Cronos/Cronus/Kronos that one of his children would rise and do the same to him. This came to pass just as fore told by the former sky god.
